QVC Bash: Green talk from the red carpet
Stylish stars share eco-concerns, green living strategies.

QVC's annual pre-Oscar Red Carpet Style party at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills drew stylish stars eager to check out new items, including a few with lines of their own for the shopping channel. Lisa Rinna and Nicole Richie promoted the launch of their women's clothing collections, and Kimora Lee Simmons talked up her Smooth Answer anti-aging moisturizer from her Shinto Clinical line.
Allison Janney, who occasionally orders jewelry from QVC.com, installed a water filter on her sink "so I don't have to use plastic bottles," and recently tried a vegan food delivery service. "I've been flirting with the idea of giving up cheese and dairy and wanted to try it. But I didn't like the way that they try to make it look like meat," she said. Janney, who has several films awaiting release, next appears with Eddie Murphy in the comedy "A Thousand Words," out March 9.
"I'm just conscious about every little thing. Of course I recycle and I'm looking at the Prius and the Volt," said Beverly Johnson, who's in the market for a new vehicle. Currently in Tyler Perry's "Good Deeds" as Gabrielle Union's mom, she'll star in "Beverly's Full House" on OWN starting March 31. "It was intense at first," having the cameras around for the five months it took to shoot the reality show about her family, she said, "But you forget about it."
How green is "Good Wife" star Chris Noth? "Very," he said, noting that he has two hybrid vehicles at home, low-flush toilets, recycles, and is "thinking of going solar. I belong to the Rainforest Action Network (www.ran.org). Their initiative is wide and vast and diverse but they're basically taking on governments and corporations that are unscrupulous. They're in Indonesia, in this country, in Canada. They're stopping countries from stripping the land of trees, not just in the rainforest, although that's their emblem. They're doing very important stuff."
While playing out an election storyline that will continue into next season of "The Good Wife," Noth is looking forward to the release of several projects. He'll play an aging, alcoholic TV star in "Frankie Go Boom," a porn mogul in "Lovelace" (the Linda Lovelace bio starring Amanda Seyfried), and financier J.P. Morgan in the ABC miniseries "Titanic," due to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking in April.
